“Events with geopolitical implications, such as the Corona pandemic and the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine, have once again greatly highlighted the dependence on global supply chains, including the risks to the industry’s semiconductor supply in the EU.

\nGerman companies are increasingly beginning to review and diversify their trade and supply relationships. The supply relationships of companies that rely on the supply of semiconductor products will become an important point in the assessment of business risks, about which investors and contract customers demand information.
At the same time, we, the German government, want to strengthen our country as a semiconductor location. In the coalition agreement, we agreed to support the German semiconductor industry along the entire value chain, including financially.
\nThe German government has already been funding microelectronics projects since 2019 via a first Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI). A second IPCEI in the field of microelectronics and communications technologies is currently being examined under state aid law. Furthermore, the federal government is prepared to support and promote settlement projects for semiconductor manufacturing under the European Chips Act.”
